in his own behalf this afternoon, and told
the jury how he killed his employer, Frank
Marine, the 'padrone" Of the Italian col
ony in Baffalo.
dMarino was my friend" he said, "but
be was hot-headed, and he insulted me.

Curcio told his story with dramatic earn
estness and became greatly excited as he
advanced. He showed by the interpreter
the relative positions of himself and the
murdered man. He went through the mo-
ton of securing and unclasping his knife,
and, raising high his hand, his arm
descended with terrible swiftness on the
Interpreters breast. The courtroom was
all excitement, and as the fatal blow was
shown shrek was heard, and more than
one of the hardened court officials turned
pale Mrs Marine, the widow of the muir
dered man, had tainted and Curcio him
self was in an intense perspiration when
he had finished. District Attorney Quimby

aud the examination was not resumed for
several minutes.

conference today passed the following res
olutions by a rousing vote Whereas, the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, has
always borne strong testimony against the

Of the theatre and OF its power as . promo
tor OF irreligious immortality and vice Re
solved, that we most additionally and
earnestly expect our people to set their

BERLIN. Nov. 19-Although it has been
officially announced in regard to Prince
Bismarck s long interview with the car,
it is an open secret iii diplomatic circles
that Prince Bismarck energetcally urged
an end to Russia's economic war
with Germany. Count Shchouya-
loft, the Russian ambassador, has prepared
the car for Prince Bismark's line Of argu-
ment, at the same time supporting the
policy OF Cancellation by advising a
acquiescense in the chancellor suggestions
AS these were directly hostile to VI. De
Gier, the car countermanded the arrange
ments. If Prince BismGrk has succeeded
in impressing the ear with the
fact that the incessant attacks on German
commerce and the prosecutions OF German
traders in Russia must be stopped before
there can be a renewal OF friendship be-
tween the two countries, the return of the
Gar to Petersburg VIII be signalized by
reconstruction OF the MINISTRY.
The Cologne Gazette gives prominence
to statement which, it is asserted, is au-
thorized, that large bodies Of Russian
troops with field guns and immense
quantities OF ammunition are arriving on
the frontier between Rowno and Win
pitza. The increase in railway traffic has
caused the Suppression of the ordinary
traffic on the kietf and koyno line for
several days.
The important announcement is made
tonight that owing to the illness OF the
crown prince, Prince William vii, by
command Of the emperor, represent his
father at all future ceremonies and recep-
tons
Prince Bismarck. since his arri a has
held daily conferences with Prime Will
liam, who visits the chancellor within an
hour Of his reaching Berlin on Tuesday
night,
The speech from the throne at the open
ing Of the reichstag, on Thursday, will
definitely allude to the position of Prince
William. The official circle is especially
gratified by the princes recognition, and
all Germany approves Of it,

OYER THE OCEAN.
FRANCE.

PARIS, Nov. 19-The chamber of depu-
ties met today. The extreme left moved
the Interpolation of the government on
the question of its domestic policy. A
motion was made by the ministry to post
pone the debate. This motion was re-
jected by vote Of 32S to 242.
Prime Minister Rouvier Immediately an
nounced the resignation Of the cabinet.
The motion for the Interpolation of the
government was made by NJ. Clemence.
Premier Rouvier demanded that debate
on the subject be adjourned till the oath
inst, the time fol. conversion Of the public
debt.
NJ Clemence said it was a singular
method of measuring the holders of public
peace until the 9th inst, and to promise
that there would then be crisis
such as never before occurred. The
public, be declared, had too long awaited
an explanation. There was practically no
government. The ministry was in no condi-
ton to guide the Republican policy. Law
officers of the state and police were in con-
flict and administrative disorder was com
plete. The division, on the governments
proposal to adjourn the debate, was taken
at the conclusion Of v. Clemenci's speech.
Upon the announcement of the result of
the vote the chamber adjourned till Mon
day amid great excitement. Subsequent
to the adjournment OF the cnalnDer OF Qcp-
uties the ministry held conference after
which thew proceeded to the palace Of
Elysee and placed their designations in
the hands OF President Grevy.
VI. kennier, upon leaving the chamber
Of deputies, accosted Clemendeau and said
You have relieved me of troublesome
burden. | have now to advise President
Grevy to send for you to form a minis
try" NJ Goblet declared in the lobby Of
the chamber that he would not undertake
to fora a cabinet.
President Grevy accepted the resigna-
tions Of his ministers at the Elysee.
President Grevy held consultation his
evening with NJ. De Freycinet, N. Flou
quet and ether prominent statesmen. He
said that he desired the formation Of
ministry which would endeavor to organ
ize union Of the whole party, with the
view Of so establishing 1t that his power
would be unassallable in the chambers.
